Gogo arcuatus | |
Gogo is a small genus of catfishes (order Siluriformes) of the family Anchariidae. It includes three species, G. arcuatus, G. brevibarbis, and G. ornatus.[1][2]
Gogo species are all endemic to freshwater in Madagascar. G. arcuatus is found in the Sandrananta River basin and G. ornatus from the Mangoro River basin; G. brevibarbis is only known from the holotype, which is apparently from the Mananjary River basin.[1] These fish range in size from about 18.1–25.0 centimetres (7.1–9.8 in) in length.[3][4][5]
